After the matter of Algol's unsealing was temporarily settled, Black Rabbit and the others no longer stayed in Lin Que's room.
Just as Lin Que said, the time for the Harvest Festival preparations was very tight.
If they didn't seize the moment now, then when the festival drew near, it would be an endless hell of overtime.
For Black Rabbit, who had just experienced two days of this, such a situation was naturally to be avoided if possible.
"Finally, no one's left."
After Black Rabbit and the others had all left, the culprit who had personally caused this farce continued to lie on the bed, content to be a slacker.
Although the entire process had tormented Black Rabbit immensely, the final outcome was still good.
Algol was freed from her seal and gained her liberty.
No Name gained a new general, and its overall strength greatly increased.
Lin Que also successfully obtained World Renown, taking a small step towards his goal of three hundred million points.
Opening the chat group, Lin Que (Administrator) scrolled to the top to look at the announcements.
"Group member 'Sea King' destroyed the seal of the Demon Star 'Algol', gaining 100 points of World Renown and a reward of 10 million group points."
"100 points of World Renown? Not bad."
A satisfied expression appeared on Lin Que's face.
Compared to the paltry World Renown gained from taking down Boirxiusi before, helping Algol break her seal to gain World Renown was incredibly easy.
Of course, taking down Boirxiusi was a prerequisite for obtaining Algol, so these two matters could be viewed as one.
His gaze swept past the World Renown announcement, and Lin Que looked at the messages below.
"Notification: It has been detected that the total number of group member points exceeds ten million. The chat group's level has been upgraded, unlocking new functions: Time Axis Compression and World Gacha Pool."
Kaguya-sama: "???"
Ben Zi Na: "Good heavens, a thunderous strike right at the start."
Passerby Heroine: "Ten million points... so many."
Nami: "Last time, when it was a million points, I still had the mood to calculate how many points I contributed. This time, with ten million points, I don't even feel like looking."
Furniture City Expert: "Indeed, the total points held by everyone in the group now probably don't even amount to a fraction of Lin Que (Administrator)'s."
Ice Queen: "Ten million points, the gap is even wider now."
Avenger: "As soon as I came in, I saw all of you chatting. Has no one looked at the newly unlocked functions?"
Ben Zi Na: "You haven't seen them yet? Hold on."
Ben Zi Na: "[Time Axis Compression: When traversing worlds, an additional 10% of group points can be paid to compress the time axis, so that no matter how long a group member stays away, only one day will have passed in their original world upon return.]"
Ben Zi Na: "[World Gacha Pool: Unlocks the gacha pool of the group member's current world. Each draw costs 100 group points.]"
Ben Zi Na: "[Note 1: Prizes are divided into nine tiers based on their quality. The higher the item's tier, the lower the probability of drawing it.]"
Ben Zi Na: "[Note 2: Only prizes existing in the current world will appear in the gacha pool. When the World Renown of other worlds reaches 300 points / 700 points / 1000 points respectively, the first stage / second stage / complete version of that world's gacha pool can be unlocked.]"
Avenger: "Looks pretty good. From now on, when going to other worlds, I won't have to worry about being away for too long and problems arising in my original world."
Ben Zi Na: "Indeed, like last time, I was away for too long, and my family thought I was kidnapped and almost called the police."
Furniture City Expert: "The gacha pool function also looks good. There are many practical things in it."
Looking at the Twelve Talismans in the gacha pool, as well as the Shadow Mask, Holy Grail, and Book of Ages—items he hadn't heard of but were equally high-tier—Jackie Chan's face showed a look of emotion.
The world he was in was indeed very deep.
Kaguya-sama: "Sigh, I envy you, Uncle Long, with your high initial world tier. My gacha pool is full of ordinary things."
Kaguya-sama: "Things like diamonds and gold, they're useless when drawn."
Passerby Heroine: "I think it's still pretty good, and there are also things in the gacha pool that can improve strength, like [One Year of Diligent Training for Physical Fitness] and [Sword Mastery]. It feels pretty good."
Kaguya-sama: "But these can also be bought from the shop, it just costs a bit more points."
She had already checked; the items in the gacha pool were exactly the same as those in the shop.
In other words, gacha was a high-risk, high-reward gamble.
It would be fine if you got lucky, but if you got something bad, it would be a huge loss.
Flower Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps: "So, are none of you planning to draw?"
Avenger: "No."
Nami: "No."
...
"Time Axis Compression and World Gacha Pool, huh."
After quickly scanning the group message section, Lin Que also opened the new functions to take a look.
They were exactly the same as what Asuna, the repeater, had posted, practically copy-pasted.
However...
Besides these two new functions that everyone had unlocked, Lin Que unexpectedly found that his administrator privileges seemed to have increased.
"Daily Draw: Once every 24 hours, you can draw for free from the gacha pool."
"Thirty-Day Free Consumption: When traversing worlds for less than thirty days, Time Axis Compression can be used for free."
"Fifty Percent Discount: Once every hundred years, you can designate one item in the shop and purchase it at half price."
"Does the administrator gain a corresponding new privilege every time the chat group unlocks a new function?"
Lin Que's face broke into a smile as his gaze swept over the three newly added privileges.
"This is an unexpectedly good piece of news."
The last time the group level was upgraded, he had only glanced at the group shop function before his attention was diverted by the arrival of new members.
Then he went on vacation to the Akame ga Kill! World and only returned today.
If the chat group hadn't upgraded and unlocked two new functions, Lin Que, who didn't usually open the function bar, might not have discovered this.
"With the Fifty Percent Discount, the humanity's final trial identity would only cost one hundred and fifty million."
Glancing at his points, which were just over ten million, Lin Que suddenly felt that he was not far from achieving his goal.
"Let's use today's free draw first."
Switching to the gacha pool, Lin Que selected the Box Garden World's gacha pool and decisively pressed the draw button.
1.7 "Congratulations! You have drawn a Tier 5 item: 'Spiritual Rank'."
"Spiritual Rank"
"Description: A high-tier Gift that allows the holder to transform into the highest-ranking being of their own species. Extremely rare."
"Note: Possessing a Spiritual Rank will also strengthen other Gifts held by the possessor."
Lin Que: "?"
Such good luck? One-shot kill?
Lin Que, who had originally thought he would only draw useless items like [One Year of Spiritual Rank] or [One Thousand Eyes Gold Coin], was stunned. He decisively switched to the chat page.
Sea King: "Spiritual Rank.jpg"
Sea King: "Fellow big shots, this group newbie got this. Is it useful? @everyone"
